Level 69 Hacker

Sounds to me like bumhurt people trying to cause everyone’s score to go down by 2 in order to preserve their own standing or as revenge for their fine upstanding member of society fine upstanding member of society fine upstanding member of society enemies being nuked.

Perhaps they hope that by destroying this Forum they won’t publish it and the whole week will be ignored, but I have a bunch of submissions left over to replace all my old subs with copy pasta to try and prevent this.

I’m sure people will just downvote those too.

I looked into it, and there’s nothing too unusual going on other than a dozen or so bad apples downvoting anything decent. Unfortunately, at this time, that’s all it takes to bury a submission.

Since they’re determined to ruin the game send a message, the best thing to do is just let them do their thing because all but the most obsessive-compulsive will eventually get bored and stop. The rationalization is that this should “spur us into action.” Ironically, it’s the kind of thing that would make me more likely to just ignore them.

You haven’t looked carefully enough. Some subs are surviving and even gaining more upvotes even though the others are indiscriminately downvoted. Isn’t it fishy?
